E.g.: Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to apply for your advertised position as office furniture. am keen to talk about the high points of my career from the past 15 years in the office furniture industry with you.

There, you just told them that you have experience, and you know how to save them money, AND you have a resume.

* Use simple, uncomplicated language in your cover letter. If you are educated, they will know that you can use big words in the interview. E.g.: I would love to work with your team, and establish my record breaking office furniture purchasing experience with your company.

* Make sure you mention your job requirements, and mention words used in the ad in your resume as things you can do. It may look blatant, but it does have a positive effect on the mind of the prospective employer. For example, if the ad says, “seeking detail oriented and efficient time manager for Senior Office Furniture Buyer”, you want to say… E.g.: My skills include a flawless attention to detail, commitment to meeting deadlines, and multi-tasking experience as a Senior Officer in a National Furniture Division.

By following these simple suggestions, you will have a resume that will make a good impact. Good luck!
